Can anyone help me please. I believe there was a laundry in Surbiton or Kingston in the early 1960's, I don't suppose anybody could give me more details about this?
-
I'm guessing you don't know the name of it but do you know the name of the owner?
-
Better to look for the name.
There must be dozens if not hundreds of laundries in Surbiton & Kingston.

Sorry I don't know the name or the owners name, all I know is that it was there in the early 60's.
-
Any idea what part of Kingston/Surbiton.
Do you mean a laundry that collected sheets etc and took them away to wash and iron them or do you mean a laundrette (ie a shop that you took your washing into)

I think the former not a lundrette and I don't know which part.
-
I suppose that in those days it was always possible that it was a hospital laundry.

Could have been although I don't think so. It must seem that I am speaking in riddles here. I met up with my natural mother quite a few years ago now but she wouldn't tell me much about my father other than his christian name and that they met at the laundry where they both worked. I realise it is a really long shot just hoping that someone was around in the right time to know a name of a laundry which may help me.
